Wonderful overview of the city. They picked us up at the cruise terminal. Agnes was a wealth of information. I could have spent the whole time in the Vasa museum it was amazing but we did a little extra time there and hit the highlights of the city with great history. We ended up getting a taxi back to the terminal so we had a little more time in the old town and to grab our Starbucks mug and send post cards.

We did a private tour of Stockholm. Our driver picked us up at the hotel and took us to meet the tour guide. The tour guide was very engaging and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed the tour.
From start to finish, this tour delivered a first-class experience. It felt like having a local friend showing you around their city with luxury wheels, of course. The guide knew all the hidden corners of the Old Town, and we even got a few restaurant tips for later. The Vasa Museum was absolutely incredible, and I appreciated the flexibility we had at each stop. If you're looking to treat yourself or someone special, this is it.
Excellent tour with a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide! Vasa Museum was amazing! Learned a lot about Stockholm.
We had a tour with Herman and Katarina and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Very informative and equally entertaining, thank you!
It was a very pleasant tour. We were accompanied by herman and katerina and they were very friendly. The spots selected were beautiful and historically significant.
Best way to learn about the city, especially if you have limited time. Herman gave us so much information in a very entertaining way. Loved everything about this tour!
Herman was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Very informative and obviously knew his history and facts. We really enjoyed our tour

Learnt alot. Guide was very informative, knew alot about the history. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour & would highly recommend.
Amazing tour and a must do for those with a tight schedule. Our tour guide Kate full of knowledge and passion. The highlight for us was the Vasa Museum, breath taking, having Kate with us made the experience alive for us, a journey back into history. Honestly one of the best tours we have had.
In Stockholm for a very short time. Our guide and driver did an excellent job of showing us the highlights of this beautiful city.
This tour and guide were both must do!! The Vasa was one of the best done museums that we have ever visited. It was an amazingly big ship with an exhibit that really brought it to life in all its aspects, especially the artistry that went into its adornments. Our guide was especially knowledgeable and explained each aspect of the Vasa museum. However, he also shared a lot about Norwegian history and culture, which included many sights of Stockholm!!
Once again, Viator has proved themselves worthy of our business. Our guide and driver, Kate and Mark, are an excellent team. They were punctual, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable with the various highlights of Stockholm, as well as, navigating the disrupted traffic patterns due to construction. A special treat was Mark rendering a traditional Swedish folk song accapella while we were viewing a statue of the composer at the harbor!
Caterina (our tour guide) and Nadia (our driver) went out of their way to provide us with a truly awesome experience in the beautiful city of Stockholm! Every site we visited was inspiring, and Caterina’s detailed knowledge of the areas within the city and the special landmarks was incredibly helpful in our quest for information. The tour of the Vaasa Museum was the highlight of our day — What a treat that was to see!
Herman was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of modifying our itinerary around the bad weather. He is a pro and won’t hesitate to use him again.
Wonderful tour, incredibly personal, great great experince, incredibly well informed, patient, helpful.
